Just as I finished digging out the last of the 150ish diamonds out of the mine (along with about 75ish lapis thanks to the new find rare mineral in the ore plugin), the server crashed. There was 8 gold in the mix of the 150ish diamonds too lol.

I was randomly walking around looking for a good place to put a mob grinding tower and really just exploring. Saw a sign that said "secret area" or something like that next to a deep hole in the ground. Just down a little ways, went into the cave and saw a HUGE wall of diamonds and another sign that just said diamond mine. WTF?! So now I feel like I just won the lottery, yet the server is down

That was the server restart and Minecraft.net conveniently fucked up before we rebooted :/ if you restart the client it'll fail to authenticate.

Doh! I hope I still have my diamonds. I have no idea where I was at.

Fixed now, player authentication's running again.
